Replace wing mirrors (driver and passenger) with cameras
Standard is ready, they just have to update the rule text, but then every state has to update as well.

That would be great if Tesla did something like that. Not sure where they would put the extra batteries for increased range. Roadster was rumored to have two rows of vertically stacked batteries for 600 mile range.

Yeah, it looks really cool if you like that "D'oh! We forgot to add a display. I know, just glue a tablet onto the dash." look.

The same manufacturers that continue to favor and push their ICE over BEV? Maybe following their example isn't the best idea. Should we compare share price? Customer satisfaction? Reliability? Cost of ownership? The necessity of LIDAR for FSD? By which metric should Tesla follow them rather than choosing their own path?
The only place a landscape screen is better is when watching a movie or playing a video game.
This discussion is like complaining about Apple not having a round watch face. The reason it's better is because they didn't do what everyone else did.

Bah. This is a fully subjective and ridiculous assertion.
I'm convinced that 90% of the "zomg it's a glued on ipad" crowd is simply clinging to their last bit of confirmation bias that lets them feel justified that their 2-3x more expensive Model S is a "premium" product compared to the pedestrian 3/Y, despite any truly justifiable reason to believe that at this juncture.
Almost all of the "never horizontal" crew will fall in line and suddenly find a way to reverse their opinion once Tesla does the inevitable and converges their UI to a landscape format across all of the volume models.
I’m waiting for a new S too, as long as it’s significantly lower than the Taycan Turbo S.
The plaid drivetrain in the current S would be worth paying another of the 10k “performance” bump imo. Maybe more if it comes with better handling. Adding the new tech of the 3/Y and some more interior options, and they’ll have my money. Please keep the IC, or add some VR heads-up display. These upmarket cars aren’t likely to be the robotaxis, so I hope they start to prioritize driver experience more. Other brands are.

I have a 2013 P85 with the 4y/50k warrenty coming due next year and I'm debating on trading for a 2020 soon or seeing what may come of this rumor. I'd be interested to see that they do with the S!
